Frequently asked questions
How to improve the accuracy of your Chinese (Cantonese) transcripts?
Start by improving the quality of the Chinese (Cantonese) AIFF file that you upload to Sonix. Please use high quality recording equipment, recording in a quiet environment, and ensure that your speakers are speaking clearly to ensure that your transcript is as accurate as possible.
Any advice for the Chinese (Cantonese) AIFF file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Chinese (Cantonese) AIFF file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from AIFF, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Chinese (Cantonese) with Sonix:
Why are my AIFF files so large?
AIFF stores uncompressed PCM audio, which works out to roughly 10 MB per minute at CD quality. Converting to a compressed format like MP3 or a lossless codec like FLAC reduces the size if storage or upload time is a concern.
Do AIFF files play on Windows?
Most modern Windows media players and audio editors can open AIFF files, although WAV is the more common uncompressed format on that platform. If a specific program rejects the file, converting it to WAV preserves the audio exactly.
Can Sonix transcribe Cantonese audio and video?
Yes. Upload your file, select Cantonese as the language, and Sonix generates a transcript you can edit in the browser and export to formats like Word, text, and subtitle files.
Does Sonix treat Cantonese and Mandarin as different languages?
Yes, they are separate language selections. Spoken Cantonese and Mandarin are not mutually intelligible, so choose Cantonese for Cantonese-language recordings.
Can I create Cantonese subtitles from my transcript?
Yes. After transcribing and editing, you can export subtitle formats such as SRT and VTT for use in video players and editing software.
